The Single Family Case Demonstration Project
The University, in collaboration with the Wilder Foundation, has designed a pilot house with the goals of building an affordable, healthy, energy efficient, and sustainable home that is attractive and suitable for the occupants. A primary aspect of the pilot house project is the investigation of new technology, specifically the use of engineered wood panels that reduce material, improve indoor air quality, and lead to cost savings.
CSBR's provided sustainable design support for the demonstration house. The sustainable objectives are; reduce and conserve overall water and energy consumption; improve indoor environment quality; decrease environment impact of materials and waste, and explore innovative technology.
